Photo of the Week!

The photo of the week was submitted by blog reader Kat (a.k.a. The Boss).

She rubbed this salmon with a mixture of French salts, then grilled it slowly on a cedar plank.
The side dishes are roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach that came from a Franklin County farm. Kat says it only cost 99 cents per pound.

“We first heated the pan and used pork fat as our oil,” she wrote. “Then I browned some garlic in that and tossed the spinach in. After seasoning with some salt, the finishing touch was juice from half a lemon. The tartness made everything taste bright and fresh.”

Do you have a beautiful food picture? If so, submit it to my Flickr group or e-mail me at Lindsey.nair@Roanoke.com. Have a great weekend!

    I am so glad I can’t gain weight with just looking! This looks really delicious! Great photo Kat!

    I have an update.
    I went to the market this past weekend and the same farm was selling the spinach at $2 a pound.
    But I think it’s still worth it; definitely cheaper than the store.
